Splendor in Silla---Rock Carved Seated Buddha in Bulgok Valley of Mt Namsan

Rock-carved Seated Buddha in Bulgok Valley of Mt. Namsan, usually called ‘Gramma Buddha,’ is the only Buddha in a deep niche in Gyeongju. The Gramma Buddha looks like a familiar gramma you would meet in your neighborhood rather than a typical Buddha. We tell a sad story about ‘Aso,’ who loved and adored the Buddha as if it were his mother.
